Incarcerated as a high-power alert prisoner, Monte is kept in his cell 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, a condition that has long been proven to instigate mental illness in those who previously had been mentally stable. In my brother’s case, he deteriorates quickly, predictably, horribly and without a single doctor on that staff to assert the Oath: first do no harm. When I go to Twin Towers for the first time to visit my brother, he makes the plea again. I don’t feel well, Trisse. Can I please have my meds? They giving me Advil but I need my meds. Please Trisse. Please.
